Do we have a problem here?

[loverofdeherb]

High 420 forum.

Recently started a grow. I've had some issues with excessive heat the last few days. The tent was around 88°F, maybe even a little bit higher at times.

I've noticed what I think might be yellowing on the leaves.

Can anyone give any advice?

Many thanks everyone.

Are you feeding it? Those white spots could be early calcium deficiency. If so they'll quickly turn brown and dry.

Most growers use cal/mag. What's your medium? Looks like coco. If so @Bill284 would tell you water every day, cal/mag goes in first and pH of your water is super important.

Thanks for the reply

It's my first attempt at a grow. Tbh, the water pH is something I didn't consider. I've been using tap so I have no idea of pH (probably 12 knowing where I live) I did order a cheap pH tester but it didn't work. Could you suggest anything for water?

The soil is canna professional. No feed as of yet. I'm sure the soil bag says it's all good for the first few weeks.

I do have canna veg ready to go.

Cheers

Welcome to 420Magazine @loverofdeherb
Your baby looks ok in that light.
Can you get a natural light pic, no yellow.
So we can tell better how she looks.
Canna Terra Pro has a couple weeks nutrients in it.
As Azi mentioned it could be a ph issue.
6.3 is your number in soil.
Did you check it yet?


Stay safe

PH is the foundation of the roots, and roots are the foundation of the plant. Electronic PH testers are great but I always keep PH test indicator drops on the shelf. Never know when that digital meter is going to die or lie.
Amazon or any gardening store caries it. Lacks .0x precision but it always works to keep you in range until you get a new meter. No batteries or calibration required. Can sit on the back of the shelf for years, so cheap insurance. Meters lying to me have left me jaded so I use the drops more than a meter now. Do you have an eye for color?

Thanks @Bill284

I've got a more natural light picture here.

I haven't checked the soil pH. Tester strips have been ordered. It's the only thing I can get ATM

Hopefully this will show any problems I might have with the soil.

I've ordered some this morning so hopefully that will show any problems. I've updated a picture in more natural light. I had two of the cheap electronic ones but neither of them seem to work. Buy cheap buy twice is a lie

She looks ok to me. Strips will work for you. As long as you stay in the 6.0 to 6.5 with organics you are good. Microbes unlock more food at 6.5 and roots absorb more food closer to 6. A little drifting can be a good thing.

Thanks for the reply @Sativa1970.

Maybe I'm just being over protective best to be on the lookout for any issues though.

Thanks

I've updated a picture in more natural light.

World of difference between the two photos. The second photo in a more normal white light shows that the plant is very healthy looking at this point. The first photo with the grow lights on makes it close to impossible to see what, if anything, is going on with the plant.

 

[loverofdeherb]

Thanks @SmokingWings

I didn't realise it would make such a difference in the different light. Very healthy is damn good to hear though. It's taken a lot of time and effort just to get to this point. Steep learning curve.

Hopefully she stays strong and healthy ... And she is a she.

Cheers.
